Iraqi special forces have recovered a stolen Picasso & arrested a man planning to sell the painting during a raid of his house in southern Iraq. The painting, "The Naked Woman", apparently had been among the art works looted from Kuwait during during Saddam Hussein's
1990 invasion. The man was trying to sell the painting for $ 450,000, but experts who saw the painting said it was worth $ 10 million. The painting, which was signed by Picasso & bore inscriptions from the Museum of Kuwait was being held as evidence.
